Good friday 2018 final draft from jen

Welcome to Trinity!

A special welcome to those who are visiting; the addition of your praise and thanks to God heartens us all.

Concerning the Service The Good Friday liturgy is the second part of the Triduum (the sacred three days). This most solemn of all days is appropriately marked by fasting, abstinence, and penitence, leading us to focus on Jesus and the meaning of his cross. Some churches do not use musical instruments or bells on this day. The church is often darkened. The bare, stark appearance of the church serves as a reminder of the solemnity and the sorrow of the day. The Lord of Life was rejected, mocked, scourged, and then put to death on the cross. The faithful are reminded of the role which their own sin played in this suffering and agony, as Christ took all sin upon himself, in obedience to his Father’s will. By the cross we are redeemed, set free from bondage to sin and death. The cross is a sign of God’s never-ending love for us. It is a sign of life, in the midst of death.

The Word of God On this day the ministers enter in silence while the congregation stands.

Once the procession has reached the altar, all kneel for silent prayer.

The celebrant alone rises and prays, Celebrant: Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

People: Amen.

FIRST LESSON

Hebrews 10:16-25

16

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” 17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Reader: People:

Thanks be to God. 3

1

MY GOD, my God, why have you for-/saken me?* and are so far from my cry and from the words of /my distress?

2

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not /answer;* by night as well, but I/ find no rest.

Yet you are the /Holy One,* enthroned upon the praises of /Israel.

4

Our forefathers put their /trust in you;* they trusted, and /you delivered them.

They cried out to you and were de-/livered;* they trusted in you and were not /put to shame.

5 6

But as for me, I am a worm and no /man,* scorned by all and despised/ by the people.

7

All who see me laugh me to /scorn;* they curl their lips and wag /their heads, saying,

8

“He trusted in the LORD; let him de-/liver him;* let him rescue him, if he de-/lights in him.�

THE PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST John 18:1-19:42 Musical setting by: Lodovico Viadana, c. 1560-1627 Chanted by the choir.

At the verse which mentions the arrival at Golgotha (John 19:17) all stand.

Chronista: 4

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

according to John. At that time Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers, together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Then Jesus, knowing all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, +Christus:

“Whom are you looking for?”

Chronista:

They answered,

Turba:

“Jesus of Nazareth.”

Chronista:

Jesus replied,

+Christus:

“I am he.”

Chronista:

Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

Again, he asked them,

+Christus:

“Whom are you looking for?”

Chronista:

And they said,

Turba:

“Jesus of Nazareth.”

Chronista:

Jesus answered,

+Christus:

“I told you that I am he.

So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”

Chronista:

This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken, “I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.”

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, 5

struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.

The slave’s name was Malchus.

Jesus said to Peter, +Christus:

“Put your sword back into its sheath.

Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

Chronista:

So the soldiers, their officer, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him.

First they took him to Annas, Who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one person die for the people.

Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus.

Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, But Peter was standing outside at the gate.

So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, And brought Peter in.

The woman said to Peter,

Synagogus:

“You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?”

Chronista:

He said,

Synagogus:

“I am not.”

Chronista:

Now the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were standing around it and warming themselves.

Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Jesus answered,

+Christus

“I have spoken openly to the world;

6

I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together.

I have said nothing in secret.

Why do you ask me?

Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.”

Chronista:

When he had said this, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus in the face, saying,

Synagogus:

“Is that how you answer the high priest?”

Chronista:

Jesus answered,

+Christus:

“If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong.

But if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

Chronista:

Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphus the high priest.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself.

They asked him,

Turba:

“You are not also one of his disciples, are you?”

Chronista:

He denied it and said,

Synagogus:

“I am not.”

Chronista:

One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked,

Synagogus:

“Did I not see you in the garden with him?”

Chronista:

Again Peter denied it, and at that moment the cock crowed.

Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate’s headquarters.

It was early in the morning.

They themselves did not enter the headquarters, so as to avoid ritual defilement 7

and to be able to eat the Passover.

So Pilate went out to them and said, Synagogus:

“What accusation do you bring against this man?”

Chronista:

They answered,

Turba:

“If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”

Chronista:

Pilate said to them,

Synagogus:

“Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.”

Chronista:

The Jews replied,

Turba:

“We are not permitted to put anyone to death.”

Chronista:

(This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)

Then, Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him,

Synagogus:

“Are you the King of the Jews?”

Chronista:

Jesus answered,

+Christus:

“Did you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”

Chronista:

Pilate replied,

Synagogus:

“I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me.

What have you done?”

Chronista:

Jesus answered,

+Christus

“My kingdom is not from this world.

If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.

But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”

8

Chronista:

Pilate asked him,

Synagogus:

“So you are a king?”

Chronista:

Jesus answered,

+Christus:

“You say that I am a king.

For this was I born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.

Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

Chronista:

Pilate asked him,

Synagogus:

“What is truth?”

Chronista:

After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them,

Synagogus:

“I find no case against him.

But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover.

Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

Chronista:

They shouted in reply,

Turba:

“Not this man but Barabbas.”

Chronista:

Now Barabbas was a bandit.

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe.

They kept coming up to him, saying,

Turba:

“Hail, King of the Jews.”

Chronista:

and striking him on the face.

Pilate went out again and said to them,

Synagogus:

“Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.”

9

Chronista:

So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.

Pilate said to them,

Synagogus:

“Here is the man!”

Chronista:

When the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted,

Turba:

“Crucify him! Crucify him!”

Chronista:

Pilate said to them,

Synagogus:

“Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.”

The Jews answered him,

Chronista: Turba:

“We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.”

Chronista:

Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever.

He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus,

Synagogus:

“Where are you from?”

Chronista:

But Jesus gave him no answer.

Pilate therefore said to him,

Synagogus:

“Do you refuse to speak to me?

Do you not know that I have the power to release you, and power to crucify you?”

Chronista:

Jesus answered him,

+Christus:

“You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

Chronista:

From then on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out,

Turba: 10

“If you release this man,

you are no friend of the emperor.

Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.”

Chronista:

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called the Stone Pavement, or in the Hebrew Gabatha.

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon.

He said to the Jews,

Synagogus:

“Here is your King!”

Chronista:

They cried out,

Turba:

“Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!”

Chronista:

Pilate asked them,

Synagogus:

“Shall I crucify your king?”

Chronista:

The chief priests answered,

Turba:

“We have no king but the emperor,”

Chronista:

Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

All Stand There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them.

Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross.

It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

Many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, 11

Turba:

“Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’”

Chronista:

Pilate answered,

Synagogus:

“What I have written, I have written.”

Chronista:

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier.

They also took his tunic.

Now, the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.”

Turba: Chronista:

This was to fulfill what the scripture says, “They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.”

And this is what the soldiers did.

Meanwhile standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, He said to his mother,

+Christus:

“Woman, here is your son.”

Chronista:

Then he said to the disciple, so he came and removed his body.

+Christus:

“Here is your mother.”

Chronista:

And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

After this, when Jesus knew all that was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture),

+Christus:

“I am thirsty.”

Chronista:

A jar of sour wine was standing there.

12

So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.

When Jesus had received the wine, he said, +Christus:

“It is finished.”

Chronista:

Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Since it was the Day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the Sabbath, especially because that Sabbath was a day of great solemnity.

So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.

Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.

But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

Instead, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.

(He who saw it has testified so that you may also believe.

His testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth.)

These things occurred so that scripture might be fulfilled, “None of his bones shall be broken.”

And again another passage of scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”

After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus.

Pilate gave him permission; Nicodemus, who had first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds.

They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews.

13

Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

And so, because it was the Jewish Day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Music Notes by: Ashley Sosis Today’s service includes a chant setting of the Passion according to St. John by Ludovico Grosso da Viadana (1560-1627), a Franciscan Monk and prolific composer of music for the church.

Unlike Francois Couperin, who carried the nickname “Le Grand” (the Great) to distinguish himself from other musical members of his family, Ludovico Grosso da Viadana added “da Viadana” (indicating the name of his birth city) to the end of his family name (Grosso) when he joined his Franciscan order.

Viadana’s setting of the Passion according to St. John is one of many settings of the passion called “Turba Choruses”. The name comes from the Latin names assigned to each of the different voices included in the chant. These names are also noted in the program so that you can keep track of the passion story. “Christus” is the voice of Christ, “Chronista” (less obviously) is the “Narrator”; and “Turba” is the crowd, or any other voice who is neither Christ nor the narrator.

Today’s service is musically stark and understated. Silence plays an equal partner to today’s beautiful hymns and anthems so that we can achieve a brilliant contrast of mood on Easter morning— welcoming the dawn of our salvation with brass, timpani, organ, handbells, and a mighty choir of all ages.

So this afternoon, and at this evening’s 6pm performance of The Crucifixion, by: John Stainer, we remember the suffering of our Lord who, “poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:12) Thank you, Lord Christ, for your love so freely given.
